Insomniac's
Spider-Man is one of the most anticipated games of the year and the team responsible for th
e Spyro The Dragon and
Resistance franchises will hopefully craft a project that will be at least as exciting as Rocksteady's
Batman: Arkham series. Sony ended their PlayStation E3 2018 showcase with an amazing demo featuring the brave wall-crawler doing battle with the iconic Sinister Six.
During the expo, only five members of the Six were revealed - Electro, Rhino, Mr. Negative, Vulture, and Scorpion. It looks like voice actor Chris Jai Alex let slip that none other than Doctor Octopus will be in the title in an interview with YouTuber Drift0r. While discussing the shocking abilities of villains forming the Sinister Six, he accidentally said that "
everyone's scaled very differently, Doctor Octopus is really tall, Rhino is big..." basically confirming that Otto Octavius is the final member of the Six.
The video of the original interview has since been taken down, however, YouTube user Rick Grimes has managed to mirror eight seconds of the video. Doctor Octopus' involvement in
Spider-Man is hardly surprising, as he's the founding member of the original Sinister Six (which debuted back in 1964) and has been featured in a variety of the villainous team iterations as the leader of the group. Take a look:
Starring one of the world’s most iconic Super Heroes, Marvel’s Spider-Man features the acrobatic abilities, improvisation and web-slinging that the wall-crawler is famous for, while also introducing elements never-before-seen in a Spider-Man game. From traversing with parkour and unique environmental interactions, to new combat and blockbuster action, it’s Spider-Man unlike any you’ve played before. Sony Interactive Entertainment, Insomniac Games, and Marvel have teamed up to create a brand-new and authentic Spider-Man adventure. This isn’t the Spider-Man you’ve met or ever seen before. This is an experienced Peter Parker who’s more masterful at fighting big crime in New York City. At the same time, he’s struggling to balance his chaotic personal life and career while the fate of millions of New Yorkers rest upon his shoulders.
Insomniac Games' Spider-Man will be released exclusively on PlayStation 4 on September 7, 2018.
